ABOUT ME

Hey everyone!
My name is Jesse and I’m an American from Madison, Wisconsin. I taught English in Chile for the six months and I am still traveling around South America. I loved living in Chile! I lived with an awesome family while I was there, met many amazing people, and saw many beautiful places.
I’m friendly and easygoing. I like talking with people and sharing stories and experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Atacama Desert was one of the most amazing and beautiful places I have ever been. One of my favorite memoires is biking back to town on a desert highway at night with some friends. I had never seen so many stars. The sky was amazing!

There were many other memorable moments when I was hiking in the Patagonia with some friends I had made while teaching in Chile. We trekked the “W,” a trail in the national park Torres de Paine, and saw glaciers, melted snow fed rivers, and white capped mountains everyday.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be open, courteous, and positive, and you will see and do more!
